Was that just a garbage ranking or did he destroy their potential? I don't know. This year should tell us.
It is because we had to get more players than nearly everyone else. The average player ranking would have us much lower.

Don't fall for the Wade lover propaganda.

The allegations are that he paid a non player, an ex player from VCU girlfriend extortion money and that he attempted to pay a player from LSUs mother or grandmother. None of these things have been proven yet and none are illegal.

Well thats just not true. The rankings are solely on player avg. And also most of the top ranked teams had anywhere from 8-11 total additions just like us.

Duke- 11
Arky- 10
Bama- 8
etc

Still trying to figure out why everyone is shitting on Miller's percentages and acting like Wright is a massive upgrade. As a freshman Miller shot 35% from 3 and coming off an injury shot 31%. Both the exact same numbers Wright had in various seasons.

Yeah he will bring experience and may fit the system better. But shite their efg% is almost identical for both last year and their careers.


Because Wright isn’t coming here to replace Miller’s role. They both may be wings (Wright could be a bit of a tweener imo), but don’t mistake their skill sets and roles. That’s the difference

They might have a clear vision of what they want. The question is whether it will translate to the SEC. So far it hasn't. This isn't the OVC.

Didn't he use his wife's bank account to pay for recruits? That's pretty damn illegal.


No.

I have no idea why Woody fired Wade or why he hired Pelini.
But I have my suspicions.
He had the right so we live with it.

Just like he had the right to hire Jimbo. They don't all work out.

Well you didn’t use the word I used and the point remains. You dismiss any standardized comparisons jumping back and forth between a few debunked narratives specific to your own bias only. You’re a hypocrite who uses false statements to support your arguments so what I said was spot on.

It was expected with the way Wade totally went in dry on our program.

mmcgrath said that women can compete with men in college basketball so that should tell you this guy doesn’t know anything about the sport.

He’s a much better coach than Wade can possibly fathom. X’s and O’s the record didn’t show it but we actually have a defense that plays. We can actually get the ball in on out of bounds plays. He just didn’t have the personnel. Wade was sooooo infuriating at the end of games. 1-4 sets that never worked. Wade never taught any of his teams what help side/weak side defenses win.

Everything you just posted is false and you won’t find any data to support it.

Jalen Cook is a great on the ball defender. To me, Will Wade did not use him enough. He has and always will be a baller. In the future, he will be in the G league for sure.

Wilkinson is probably the best on ball defender on the roster. Hopefully he will stay healthy this year.

Wade has become a deflection tactic for excuse makers.
